Salesman with top drawer, see, concealed in counter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

traveller

'salesman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'top drawer see concealed in counter' is the wordplay.
'top drawer' becomes 'RA' (a Royal Academician might be very good at drawing).
'see' becomes 'v' (short for 'vide', Latin meaning 'see elsewhere').
'concealed in' indicates putting letters inside.
'counter' becomes 'teller' (a teller counts votes).
'ra'+'v'='rav'
'rav' put into 'teller' is 'TRAVELLER'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for traveller that I've seen before include "asked if anybody was there" , "Representative" , "vagrant" , "20 dn [GULLIVER], say" , "Nomadic person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
